Machine Translation

So why all the hype about machine translation?

Well, for starters, an insane amount of money has been sunk into the development of machine translation (MT) software, and manufacturers obviously have a vested interest in promoting MT.

Second, machine translation does have its uses, although very limited. MT is most effective in the following situations:

• Fields with highly limited ranges of vocabulary and very simple sentence structures.
• For "gisting" or, to get the general meaning (gist) of a document.

And, it is useful for translation projects that have all the following project requirements:

• Internal consumption.
• Limited budget.
• Short turn-around.
• Quality is not important.
